8 To You my heart says: “Seek My face.” Your face, Adonai, I seek.
9 Do not hide Your face from me. Do not turn Your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Do not abandon me or forsake me, O God my salvation.
10 Though my father and my mother forsake me, Adonai will take me in.
11 Teach me Your way, Adonai, and lead me on a level path— because of my enemies.
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes. For false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.
13 Surely I trust that I will see the goodness of Adonai in the land of the living.
14 Wait for Adonai. Be strong, let Your heart take courage, and wait for Adonai.
